Site prep & grading in Crestview, FL

Cleared ground shaped and leveled so it’s ready for a house pad, a shop, a driveway or a yard that sheds water.

Site prep & grading

Level where it needs to be

Clearing gets the trees out of the way.

Site prep gets the ground ready for what comes next: roots and soft spots dug out, the high side cut down, the low side filled, and the area under the slab, building or driveway brought level.

Grading also decides where the rain goes.

A lot that pitches toward the house will keep flooding the garage until the ground is reshaped, so good grading always starts with where the water should end up.

That’s the difference between a pad that stays dry and one you fight every summer.

Good to know

Before the machines show up

Talk to your builder first

If a contractor is building on the pad, get the size and elevation from them so the grade matches the plans.

Clay up top, sand below

Around Crestview the ridges carry red clay and the low ground runs sandy. Both grade well, but they drain and settle differently.

Driveways need a crown

A drive base that’s crowned and packed sheds water instead of holding it in ruts.
